hi everyone.
today is sweet adeline's 9th anniversary :) i still can't get over that
i was 25 when i started the site :O anyway i just wanted to say thank
you to everyone who has been involved with the site over the last 9
years. thanks to the sites and mailing lists related to elliott that
came before sweet adeline. they totally inspired everything on this
site. thank you to the wonderful labels who were kind enough to help
out a new elliott fan site in 1998 like cavity
search records and kill rock
stars. as always, special thanks to all the fans who have either
helped out or came by the site. it is appreciated by all who love elliott.
to elliott's family and friends, thank you for all your kindness and
continous support. finally, a big thank you to elliott for his support
when it came to the site and when it came to fans. he treated all of
us with a lot of kindness and appreciation and it will never be forgotten.
thanks again to everyone for the 9 years!

finally,
i have been meaning to mention this for a while but i would forget :(
i don't even know how to describe it but there is a site dedicated to
kermit the frog (from the muppets) as if things have gone bad for him
and the site features 'sad' songs that document kermit's pain during
these years. the artists that sad kermit has covered includ nine inch
nails, radiohead, jeff buckley and elliott! when i first visted the
site, sad kermit already had a version of 'twilight' but they recently
added a cover of 'needle in the hay' as well. the covers are actually
really great and funny to hear. if you are interested in hearing the
songs, please click these: needle
in the hay & twilight.
for more info about sad kermit, please go to sadkermit.com.

thanks to
matt for posting some really rare footage and stills of elliott on sweet
addy. the video is a mix of live footage, phots, clips at the hotel,
on the tour bus, off the tour bus, backstage and other places. the footage
comes from one of the members of the bands (no.2, jr. high, and quasi)
that was touring with elliott in 1999. part of it is set to music while
other parts of the video is actual sound from the recordings. the video
is under 6 minutes but features a really neat glimpse of elliott being
on tour with friends and just hanging out that normally hasn't been
seen. matt was kind to enough to make it available for download via
yousendit
and youtube.
we plan to add it our collection of videos
as well!

thanks to
jessica for taking the time to let us know that in the latest magnet
magazine there is memoir by larry crane about elliott. the issue should
be in stores now and features spoon on the cover. for more information
about the issue, please go to magnetmagazine.com!
